US Airways Apologizes for X-Rated Twitter Photo

US Airways took a crash course in social media apology after it tweeted an extremely graphic picture of a naked woman on its Twitter stream as part of a response to a customer complaint about a recent flight.

“We apologize for an inappropriate image recently shared as a link in one of our responses,” the airline wrote. “We've removed the tweet and are investigating.”

The tweet was sent at 2:48 pm and was left up for an hour before it was pulled. The not safe for work photograph featured a naked woman finding an interesting place to land a model plane.

“Unfortunately the image was inadvertently included in a response to a customer,” the airline said in a statement. “We immediately realized the error and removed our tweet. We deeply regret the mistake and we are currently reviewing our processes to prevent such errors in the future.”
